ROFR Thread January to March 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[mommy2allyandaveri]

My company sent it the same day we both signed guess it depends on the manpower at each company

Mine too! Not loving the stories I'm hearing about Fidelity, I guess I should steer clear of them. Love who I'm working with.

I think most of the SSR contracts under $100 have been taken lately. I know they took my contract at $97 or $98/point for 300 points.

My $100 and $103 250 contract for SSR were both taken, I'm not sure $100 is their tipping point.

I will say that my experience with Fidelity (thus far - I'm still awaiting ROFR) has been excellent. They responded the same day on our offer and sent documents that day. The broker (Bonnie) was also very responsive on a couple of questions I had. Then the next day, the title company had taken the deposit, and we got an email notice from Fidelity that they had sent our offer to ROFR. So I don't know if it's dependent on the individual broker, how quickly the seller responds, or what, but as stated above, my experience has been much better than some of the others here.

As for the ROFR results today, I'm very sorry for all those who have gotten the contracts taken today. I suppose the only positive thing is that they seemed to move somewhat quickly to grab those. Good luck for those who are planning to try again - I'm going to be rooting hard for you!

I'm so glad you have had a positive communication experience. I have had the opposite! Multiple e-mails and phone calls have gone completely ignored. I finally was frustrated enough to contact their management. THEN my agent called, apologized and let me know we were waiting on Disney. It took two weeks to get an answer . Now I'm just waiting on ROFR

I rode them HARD to find out what day mine was sent. It was absurd! The reality was it was right around the time my deposit was taken. I even called the Title Company to find out when they had received it.....

I selected Jeffrey C Sweet as my closing attorney. We mailed a check to them for our deposit. The deposit did have to be received before they would send to ROFR. My broker at Fidelity told me twice that it was sent 1/20 but also that I should receive a confirmation of that from the contract department. Bizarre that the confirmation came so much later.

Have to chime in after questioning when my contract was sent because I've worked with them 4 times and each time the experience has been excellent. I definitely don't want to take away from that at all, and I didn't even bother to ask for clarification (which I'm sure they would have given) but I may soon just out of curiosity. I've worked with 4 different representatives there who never had any issue presenting my offers (even when lowball) and they were always quick and professional.

Honestly love working with them and wouldn't hesitate to do so again

Taken 2-11

I feel so incredibly defeated. Of course it's not personal, but I feel so sad.

So sad I think the seller paying '21 MF and closing costs had an impact here. Your $103 is equivalent to about $93 a point if you had paid '21 MF and closing costs. I'm sure mine is going to be very attractive to be taken unfortunately as it's equivalent to about $97 since I am splitting '21 MF with the seller.

 

[justadreamaway77]

Welp I don't know what to think now. My contract was sent 10 days before you but at $100/pp. You would think mine would have been taken sooner

Ours was sent one week before hers at $100/pp and have not heard anything either.

 

[Cartman3132]

I dunno.....I get the take/pass is randomized and there's some variables but the date thing confuses me. How is it not by date as "next up" in the pile and going in chronological order? Does someone walk in every morning and just randomly grab 15 out of the stack at different intervals? Does someone just take the stack and throw it on the floor and whatever order it gets picked up that's the new order? I need to apply for a job so I can see this process in action.

 

[hilltopper152]

Congrats! Hoping I get some good news today as well. But I have increased confidence my will go thru now. Might of overpaid a bit. But didn’t want to lose over couple hundred bucks.

Jdomka---$166-$17220-100-BLT-Dec-0/19, 200/20, 100/21, 100/22- sent 1/21

You def overpaid so you are good. Enjoy the ownership!

 

[birchtree95]

I got a bad case of add-on-itus recently, and because I bought a couple big contracts, I figured it was time to sell my original add on contract. AKL 50 points.

If it doesn't end up on this board once Disney decides, is it acceptable to post here even though I'm a seller?

I figure every bit of information is good information.

52 card pick up is probably the name of the game. Or they read this forum and see our contracts and make us wait longer

Princesscinderella---$145-$25046-160-BLT-Feb-0/20, 160/21, 160/22- sent 1/31, taken 2/11

Here we go again on the hunt for another FEB BLT

Sorry to hear! Still haven't heard on mine....hopefully this week.

 

[Mouse511]

Mickeyshellbelle- $160- $12,818- 75- BLT - OCT - 0/20, 44/21, 75/22
Sent 1/20, passed 2/11

So happy we got the elusive oct use year to add on!!

Congrats - you scooped this one up on us, while we were in ROFR on another Oct contract, that unfortunately got bought back.

We now have a 50 Oct in ROFR at $168 - overpaid, but didn't want another contrtact bought back.

 

[princesscinderella]

Sorry to hear! Still haven't heard on mine....hopefully this week.

I hope yours makes it!!
I’m in the offer process on the backup contract I’ve been watching in case this last one was bought too. At least this time I only had to wait 10 days to find out it was taken. Let’s hope for good news Friday.

Finally passed today 2/11. (After broker contacted them again yesterday afternoon because of our extended wait)

Stacie_d---$135-$21977-150-CCV@WL-Dec-0/20, 150/21, 150/22- sent 12/24, passed 2/11

Congrats , great price!

Yup knew it when I did it, Seller wouldn’t take my original offer of $161. But still glad I did, as I have not seen Another similar December contract since making my offer.

I offered 152 on 160 BLT that is pretty loaded. At the time I saw prices that looked like I was still overpaying versus past months but nervous as I see Disney buying up BLT... Really did not want to pay close to 160 but considering I wanted a summer/fall use year it may have been worth it... maybe you are the smart one here lol
